soiled undergarments. Clothing that
has been worn should not be hung

does not admit of a window, the door
should be left open for few hours
every day to admit pure air. Some
persons have ventilators placed just
over the door, but the outside air, if

FARMING OVERCOME.

| Auu suy. ~, Luduk you, JOes W. WILL
FARMING OVERCOME.
That the business of farming has
been overdone will not surprise those
who consider how it has been stimu-
lated in SO many ways. All tho land
grants to new railroads were so many
bounties to encourage the filling in of
territory that otherwise might have re-
manned unoccupied fifty years longer.
In the East the use of artificial fertilizers
has encouraged the production of grain,
and especially wheat, beyond all prece-
dent. Each of these stimulants shows
signs of losing it's former effectiveness.
The best Of tho new lands are already
occupied, and at the East wheat is so
low in price that on many farms it can
no longer be profitably grown, even by
commercial fertilizers. These two
causes cooperating must produce a
diminished production of wheat in time.
At least the expansive period when
everything was turned to the stimula-
ton of grain-growing has passed.
This is true not only in this country,
but all over the world. Cheap as farm
products are, we are holding our own,
and, in wheat especially, are supplying
more Of the requirements of Europe
than any other country.
FOOD EGGS
Professor G.. c. Caldwell stated at q
Rochester horticultural meeting .that
nine ounces of the white of egg contain
ed as much food as seven pounds of
cherries, or eight pounds of grapes, or
twelve pounds of straw berries. But
the fruit is a strong corrector of the
condition produced by malarial diseases
whichis ascribed lare ely to the presence
or free organic acids, largely of the
citric and malic acids; and the pleas
ureable tasteis undoubtedly goodf for the
health.
| IMPURE AIR.
When cattle ran out doors all Winter
no one ever heard of tuberculosis. The
lesson from this is not to burn down
COW stables, but the fact that this lung
consumption has increased as we have
more carefully housed our cattle ought
to set us to thinking whether we do not
house them too tightly-keeping them
perhaps unnaturally warm-or ut least
forcing them to breath impure air.
THE HELPLESS BABY.
The baby's fever and the rash
and the bowel trouble (starting in
the brain) will be found in the majority
| of cases due to the suHocation or irri-
tation of the skin by the popular knit
wool skirts; however soft these may feel
to the hand, every fibre of wool is set
with tiny hooks. which continually catch
and let go of the exquisitely sensitive
skin of the side and back as the baby
brcathes. 1t reminds me of Edmond
About's tale of tho man who died under
the hands of Italian brigands, merely
by having hairs pulled from his head one
by one, his hands being bound. That
is Just the helpless condition of baby.

4 Startling Prediction.

From Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.l
Two hundred years ago in China thero
was Just such a craze about natural gas as
we have in this country to-day. Gas wells
were sunk with as much vim and vigor us
the celestials We're capable Of, but owing
TO a gas explosion that killed several mil
lions Of people and tore up and destroyed
a large district of country, leaving large
inland sea, known on the maps as Lake
Foo Chang, the boring of any more gas
wells was then and there prohibited by
law. 1t seems, according to the Chinese
history, that many large and heavy press
ure gas wells were struck, and in some
districts wells were sunk quite near to
each other. Gas was lighted as soon as
struck, as is done in this country. 1t is
stated that one well with its unusual press
ure, by induction or back draught, pulled
down INTO the earth the burning gas Of a
smaller well, resulting in dreadful ex-
plosion Of large district, destroying the
inhabitants thereof. Lake Foo Chang rests
on this district. The same catastrophe is
imminent in this country unless the laws
restrict further developments in boring SO
many wells. Should similar explosion
occur there will be such an upheaval as
will dwarf the most terrible earthquake ever
known. The country along the gas belt
from Toledo through Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky will be ripped up to the depth of
200 to 800 feet and Topped over like
pancake, leaving a chasm through which
the waters of Lake Erie will come howl
ing down, filling the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys and blotting them out forever.
